Steering Pump

The CIII power steering pump is a belt-driven, vane-type, power steering pump. See Fig 1. It is mounted directly to the engine block by three bolts. The power steering pump is replaced as an assembly. An identification tag attached to the power steering pump indicates the model number and bar code. See these when pump replacement is required. The power steering pump uses a quick connect fitting for the power steering pressure hose. The power steering oil reservoir is mounted on the left hand side of the upper radiator support crossmember. See Fig 2.
